Is Technology Crucial For Innovation?- Beeptrio
Technology is important for innovation, and technology innovation is
important for innovation in almost every other field.
Why?
Because technology is advancing, we can do more with less, which
enhances our quality of life.
Just observe how
we currently live.
Through Skype or email, we communicate with people around the world.
Whether it's music, text, or video, we consume the majority of our media on
digital devices. The "phone" in our pocket keeps us in contact with
others wherever we are. We do all of our shopping, financial management, and
bill-paying online. In our homes, there are robot vacuum cleaners. Uber and other
technology-enabled services like Car2Go are revolutionizing urban
transportation. A cooperation between Arizona State University and EdX has been
announced to provide an online freshman year of college that awards college
credits. And we're moving towards the era of P4 Medicine (personalized,
predictive, preventative, and participatory), which Lee Hood describes as being
fully enabled by technology.
All of this
innovation has been concentrated in the Puget Sound area.
It developed desktop publishing, streaming video, e-commerce, modern
cellular service, PC software, online government data for city management, and
commercial cloud computing.
Additionally, it has propelled aircraft technology into the
twenty-first century and is building the framework for world health.
Here, it's crucial to keep in mind how quickly innovation can change
and advance a region.
For instance, Microsoft was just starting out a generation ago in New
Mexico, and Boeing dominated the Puget Sound region.
Today, the Puget Sound region is home to vibrant, linked innovation
clusters that are continuing to make breakthroughs in a variety of fields,
including neuroscience, the cloud, e-commerce, gaming, data science, and
information technology.
Newly minted University of Washington graduates, as well as smart
people from all over the country and the world drawn to our region by its
vibrancy, are what are powering these new waves of invention. Together, they
are expanding the boundaries of exploration. In contrast to the number of
start-ups or licenses, this cutting-edge human capital is the genuine indicator
of any region's inventive development and potential.
Because scientific and technology advancement is now the daily pulse
and blood-flow of this growingly collaborative and future-focused community,
the next waves of innovation in the Puget Sound region are on their way and
coming far more quickly than we may anticipate.
Previously, having access to data was one of the main obstacles to
innovation; today, the issue is turning that data into knowledge and then
putting it to use in meaningful ways. To put it another way, going from data to
knowledge to quicker action Our region is a leader in this challenge.
We also face the
following four other innovation-related difficulties today:
Security and privacy. The dimensions of this issue are technological,
legal, economic, societal, and human. A "solution" is doomed to
failure if even one of these dimensions is ignored. The urgency in this area is
increased by the emergence of the Internet of Things, Big Data, and
personalized medicine, among other themes.
the price of fabricating semiconductors with smaller and smaller
features. These more transistors are no longer "free," as the price
is increasing. There are methods based on silicon, such as the utilization of
specialized architectures and programmable gate arrays. Beyond that, quantum
computing and DNA-based storage hold promise, but both are difficult and risky.
Systems that think, comprehend, and elucidate The development of
artificial intelligence (AI) is astounding. Many of the most effective
artificial intelligence (AI) systems are built using "deep learning."
These systems are neither intelligible (we are unable to follow their
"logic") nor do they "understand" (they operate by processing
enormous amounts of data). The "AI-phobia" that is so prevalent in
the media these days is a result of this limitation on what they can do,
despite the fact that they are capable of some things incomparably well. A key
policy challenge is how to strike the right balance between
"innovation" and "safety" as we work to develop AI systems
that can reason, understand, and explain. We also need to be aware that
whenever we automate a task, there is a chance for advancement as well as a
chance for mistakes.
The "innovation-induced" difficulty of keeping Seattle's
unique and alluring characteristics. The natural splendor, the diversity in
socioeconomic status, the quirkiness, and the general standard of living.
Even though Seattle's problems are minor in contrast to those of other
large cities, we must still handle them now while we are in a position of
power.
However, Seattle can teach other creative locations a few important
lessons in addition to its obstacles.
The first is that rather than attempting to imitate another area, you
must make the most of your own distinct advantages and traits as a region. The
(hopefully decreasingly frequent) times I overhear Seattleites refer to their
city as "the future Silicon Valley," I wince. To do so would be fatal.
Our goal should be to become "the next Seattle."
Diversity is the second. Socioeconomic diversity, industrial sector
and subsector diversity, neighbourhood diversity, ethnic and sexual orientation
diversity, you name it, must all be present in an inventive region. This plays
a significant role in what makes our region a desirable place for people to
live.
Third, Seattle needs to do a much better job of recognising the value
of a top-notch educational system, from early learning through graduate and
professional degrees. If you want to be a top innovation region, you must
deliver in this area. It's crucial that the children who are currently living
here have the chance to participate at the top level in the innovation economy
we are building.
In this piece, I've mostly concentrated on technological advancementand the environment I live in.
And For Good
Cause.
However, the University of Washington also provides a fantastic
insight into other areas of innovation. An excellent example is the field of
biomedicine, where some inventions produce large cash streams while others do
not, but all have the potential to affect the lives of millions of people. For
instance, Dr. Fred Rivara has saved countless children from serious injury
thanks to his groundbreaking (but non-profit-generating) research on the effectiveness
of bicycle helmets. On the other hand, we have the illustrious professor Ben
Hall, who assisted in the development of a highly profitable Hepatitis B
vaccine.
For the Puget Sound region and many other places throughout the world,
it's crucial to keep removing the old barriers that restrict us from realising
what's fresh and feasible. Simply said, we shouldn't and can't sleep on
tomorrow.
We Won't, In My
Opinion !!
Our greatest and
most creative years are just ahead of us, and technology innovation is critical
to this flourishing future, to paraphrase Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates.
